Upstream information
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net: ifb: report ethtool stats over num_tx_queues
ifb_dev_init() allocates dp->tx_private to dev->num_tx_queues
entries via kzalloc_objs(*txp, dev->num_tx_queues). Both IFB
per-queue RX and TX stats live in those entries: ifb_xmit() updates
txp->rx_stats using the skb queue mapping, ifb_ri_tasklet() updates
txp->tx_stats, and ifb_stats64() aggregates both over
dev->num_tx_queues.
The ethtool stats callbacks instead size and walk the per-queue
stats with dev->real_num_rx_queues and dev->real_num_tx_queues. With
an asymmetric device where the RX queue count exceeds the TX queue
count, for example:
ip link add name ifb10 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 8 type ifb
ethtool -S ifb10
ifb_get_ethtool_stats() indexes past the tx_private allocation and
copies adjacent slab data through ETHTOOL_GSTATS.
Use dev->num_tx_queues consistently for the stats strings, the
stats count, and the stats data walks. This reports one RX stats
group and one TX stats group for each backing ifb_q_private entry,
which is the queue set IFB can actually populate.
Reproduced under UML+KASAN at v7.1-rc2:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ifb_fill_stats_data+0x3c/0xae
Read of size 8 at addr 0000000062dbd228 by task ethtool/36
ifb_fill_stats_data+0x3c/0xae
ifb_get_ethtool_stats+0xc0/0x129
__dev_ethtool+0x1ca5/0x363c
dev_ethtool+0x123/0x1b3
dev_ioctl+0x56c/0x744
sock_do_ioctl+0x15f/0x1b2
sock_ioctl+0x4d5/0x50a
sys_ioctl+0xd8b/0xde9
With the patch applied, the same UML+KASAN repro is silent and
ethtool -S ifb10 reports only the stats backed by the single
allocated tx_private entry.
